Nate Diaz teammate involved in ugly brawl as boiling water thrown towards rival

Nate Diaz's teammate Chris Avila has once again found himself in an ugly pre-fight scene at a press conference as bottles and hot water were thrown.

The California native is in New Orleans to face Paul Bamba in the co-main event of Misfits Boxing 006, but has been suspiciously quiet in the build-up. He skipped the pair's open workout on Tuesday before making a brief appearance at yesterday's pre-fight press conference which was filled with drama.

As Bamba was beginning to launch into a diatribe about his rival, wearing a custom-made t-shirt slamming Avila as Diaz's 'waterboy', their teams got into it off stage. And Bamba claims that hot water was thrown at members of his side, while bottles were also flung between the pair's camps.
